ceived visit from the princess OfWales.
These nuns, some of them ladies of
noble families, observe a very strict
rule. Once entering the convent they
never leave it alive. They never see
men, not even the priest who says mass
in the chapel. The altar is screened of,
and they can see just the elevation of
the Host. Through a small aperture
they receive the holy communion. Iron
gratings and a linen veil guard
the small opening through which
they make confessions. They
never undress for repOse, but spend
half the night in prayer, and keep eX-
cept in extreme cases of illness, a per-
petual abstinence from meat. They
make almost everything they use, even
to shoes and medicines. If a parent of
one of these nuns dies the announce
ment is not made to the nun herself,
but in general terms it is said that one
of them has lost by death father or a
mother, as the case NAV be.

THE DatNATAk


The dog always has THE DALMTIAN
smooth white coat, BREED.
thickly marked with rounded black
spots. His tail is generally destitute of
brush. The name Dalmatian is said to
be altogether misleading. 1t is sup
posed by students of ''dOgology" that
the breed may have been brought frQW
India, where very similar kind of dog
exists.
The reason for relegating him to the
StableS--aS has always been done in
England. and not always, though very
frequently, in this cOuntry-iS that he is
not sufficiently keen scented or sagacious
to be of use for hunting, and is utterly
worthless for Watching, being OF a very
inOffensive disposition.
A gentleman of this city who owns
several Dalmatians says that they are
not difficult to train.
They become attached to the horses"
SAYS he, $50 that they will want to be
constantly in their company, and will
not hesitate to follow them without a
single call from the driver. no matter
what the weather may be. 1t is only
necessary to keep your dog in the
stable and he very soon becomes ac-
Quainted, so to speak, with the horses,
and though you might change drivers
every day of the year and carriages
fully as often. it would make no differ
ence to the dog. He would want to go
out every time the horses were har-
messed. Do they have preferences in
the matter of horses? Well, / should
say. L have one young dog who has
a particular liking for a chestnut mare
OF mine. and the friendship is mutual,
too. for the mare would hate very much
to 90 out without the dog, and would
make fuss over it if his companion
ship were denied her: but the greatest
interest in the matter is, of course, TAX
EN- by the dog. When the harness are
taken down by the stable boy he is all
attention, and if one is placed on the
| chestnut the dog mantle sts his delight
by bouncing about the stable. barking
and opening his mouth in a big dog
grin. But if his favOrite's stall is not
entered by the boy with the harness,
then he is the soberest dog you ever
saw. He suddenly loses all interest in
| the proceedings and lies down with a
disappointed air.
.'How much are my dogs worth?
Well, if l were to sell them should
want at least $500 each, but l suppose
you could buy other dogs much cheap
er. Still. have known owners of very
pretty carriage dogs who held their ami
mails much higher than mine, though
possibly for the reason that they were
not for sale"

burban driveways it is getting to be a
very common thing, the dOg-under-the
wagon idea, and the quiet yet searching
demand for the handsome Dalmatian
breed. usually kept for the purpose, has
materially increased the price of such
dogs. A pretty spotted dog, well trained
and not too fat, often brings fancy

paid for the breeds, according to age,
beauty and accomplishments, says the

An accomplished carriage dog is one

they were ready the salesman had found
a pair of shoes of the size desired.
The right ones mine," said Joe, and
Dick reached for and took the left one.
On went the shoes, and, after lacing
them up, they stamped around on the
floor to test their fit, just as men with
two feet would do.
I'm stuck on this SHOE" said the one
who got the left shoe, and he looked ad-
miringly down at his foot.

companion. 1t fits and all that, but l

other, and poor Dick seemed entirely

The bargain was now completed, and
Dick, after Sauntering up to the cOnnter
and paying the bill, picked up the bun
die, and out the pair sailed arm in arm,
looking as happy as two kings in the
full glory of their power.
''We don't often have such queer
trades as that" remarked the salesman
to GLOBE reporter. 1--WE have any
number of one-legged men who come
and have us find odd shoes for them.
OF course those that come are too poor
to have their shoes made to order and
we generally have few old shoes on
hand which we are glad enough to get
rid Of"
A Fresh Farmer.
The man who has lived the simple,
honest and happy life of farmer, or the

a small country town or village, for a
number of years carries the mark of

himself in suit of the latest fashion,

He entered the door, but paused before
